PC Grow Box Review

PC Grow Boxes are the ultimate in stealth growing. Remember that old saying about hiding things in plain site? These compact, self-contained units do just that. Whoever comes to your house, they are unlikely to notice that PC tower in the corner humming away to itself. It looks just like any of the millions of PC towers in homes across the globe. Lots of people even add a dummy monitor to complete the picture.

PC grow boxes are constructed from the shells of PC tower boxes. Inside, instead of hard drives, mother boards and graphics cards, they are kitted out, all ready for the stealthiest of indoor marijuana grows.

Here are the features that make PC grow boxes the kings of stealth

PC grow boxes use interior light baffles to keep light from escaping via the fan. There will be no hint of a glow to give you away.

Whisper Quiet

You can expect a low level hum from your PC grow box, about the same amount of noise as… you guessed it. A normal PC tower.

Turnkey Units

style=”list-style:circle;”These grow boxes are ready to go. Just plug it in, add the plants and you’re off and running. No assembly necessary.

Automated

These low maintenance systems can run on their own most of the time. This means you don’t have to open it very often, reducing the risk of being caught.

Of course, a PC tower is quite small so these systems are normally designed to hold just one or two compact plants. Small auto-flowering strains are perfect.

Our Favorite Strains for PC Grow Boxes:

Auto Candy Kush is one of the easiest strains to grow, and the buds have a sweet, smooth taste. These plants are small, auto-flowering and resistant to pests and mold. Go from seed to smoke in just 10 weeks. The hit is high in both THC and CBD. This is medicinal bud that eases physical and emotional pain.

With her powerful Indica stone, fast finishing time and yields of 400g/m2, Paradise may just be right in declaring Pandora the best auto-flowering variety out there. The stone is heavy but clear, and popular with medicinal users.

Choose a PC Grow Box for Your Next Stealth Grow

Of course, you can always build your own PC grow box if you have a spare computer tower hanging around. This is an option many home-growers choose. However, the price of a fully equipped grow box is typically paid for after the first 2-3 harvests. The convenience of a plug ‘n play grow box is hard to beat.

For a small stealth grow, the PC grow box remains the classic King of grow boxes.

7 thoughts on “PC Grow Box Review”

While the ad for the Dealzer PC Grow Box 2.0 claims it will yield two pounds of dry matter per year, one of the technicians at Dealzer frankly told me that in truth, each of the four three month harvests will conservatively yield a little less than three ounces, which is not quite twelve ounces per year. That’s a bit disappointing, don’t you think?
